Ke Chuangsheng said that Hong Kong has a small land and a large number of people, and it has become normal to live in small houses and expensive houses, but it should not be numb because of this, especially when it involves safety issues, let alone turn a blind eye.

He mentioned that during his home visit, he saw that the ceilings of the subdivided houses were peeling off and the wires were exposed, which was worrying. He hoped that the government would pay attention and follow up.

He pointed out that during the home visits accompanied by the two bureau chiefs, he felt that they were dedicated and careful inspections, walked up a hundred stairs, walked into units less than a hundred feet, talked with residents, learned about their living conditions, and introduced various government policies. From simple public housing to cash subsidies, etc., all make residents feel more warm.

He said that he will continue to work with his team inside and outside the parliament to push the government to step up efforts to implement short-, medium-, and long-term appropriate measures as soon as possible to solve the housing problem in Hong Kong in the long run and achieve the major goal of "farewell to subdivided housing".
